Appropriately located in the former abode of chic 18th century courtesan Madame de Pompadour, the team behind Paulie and Me call their project an âincubation storeâ: a platform for up-and-coming designers and jewellers. Around 15 or so diverse collections of jewellery, leather, shoes and clothing are exhibited for periods of three to six months at a time, with often stunning items available for both men and women.In Autumn 2015, for example, accessories for women include Coco Rocaâs colourful and delicate Japanese pearl work (around âŹ130 for a bracelet), gold and brown jewellery by âbollychicâ brand Bangle Up and Maison Passageâs arty shawls in cashmere and rayon (around âŹ240). For men, an attractive (if expensive) range of 100% fair-trade âBe Parisianâ t-shirts (âŹ45 for the most basic).TRANSLATION: HUW OLIVER
